Trendspot is called CB1 now
It’s still trend spot the same way CB2 is still amp gifting. CB1 and CB2 are celebratory 1 and 2.

Also the only issue I see with the titles is PMT is PML not PMTL. Not a team leader just a lead
 
Modernization speak and what it really means:-

How are you doing on that uboat?
Hurry the fuck up cause you’re slow.

Let me know when you’re done with your uboat.
Hurry the fuck up so I can give you more shit to do.

Are you zoning as you push?
Your zone looks like shit.

Can you do these 2 sales planners today?
Fuck you and your push, SD wants TWT at 97%.

Can you stay longer?
You have to stay , otherwise we’ll starve you for hours?

Can you do your reshop?
Fuck you.

Can someone clear the callbox in domestics?
Walk across the store and clear the box, you are the only GM tm scheduled.

you need to zone, pull 1:1s, push 1:1s. Push truck, audit and put up the AD in your 4.5 hr shift.
We really don’t know what we’re doing, so we are gonna keep talking, until you nod yes, to make us go away.

...more to come

This will serve as the current terminology thread. The previous thread has a link pointing here.

Any posts that don't directly contribute to the main point of defining terms and acronyms will be hidden to keep this thread clean.

esim log?
Sweep it’s salvage , crc , cheap pallets , etc done in revlog
Also done in revlog is transfer when you have overstock and want to send back to dc also in revlog
Esim log is weekly esim where you check your boxes to make sure are clear of spills and debris done in revlog
To sort esim is in my work
Po for vendor is done in receive for vendors
 
I was pretty sure that AutoFill, or Auto, was the first round of pulls, ie 11 o’clock. Like truck was pushed, autos were pushed to fill out what sold between yesterday afternoon and that morning ... and then CAF was completed auto fill as in afternoon replenishment... fills out what was sold between the last auto
 
Where did u see this ?

It’s funny that the Modernization thread was blowing up with hundreds of posts - until Feb. 20th - and then nothing new and nothing to say for over a month now.
I guess modernization complaints can’t compare to covid-19 woes.
Was on my schedule next to my times
